Reason: Painting (artwork) is a very poorly thought out name for "traditional paintings", which has made it a constantly misunderstood tag. This tag is frequently added to digital paintings, on drawings that show a character making a painting, or even scenes with framed paintings in the background. This mistagging is so bad that false tags have occurred regularly for years. I've carefully gone through and collected hundreds of mistagged posts, and corrected them, so now all that are left in the tag (barring new incorrect entries to the tag) are actual traditionally created paintings.
The only logical replacement tag name I can think of is traditional_painting_(artwork). I think breaking this process up might be easier and less unwieldy as far as approving goes than having a single BUR. This first part removes the aliases and implications to painting_(artwork)
The Plan:
1. unimply all traditional painting mediums from painting_(artwork), unalias paint_(artwork) from painting_(artwork)
2. move all posts under painting_(artwork) to traditional_painting_(artwork)
3. imply all traditional painting mediums to traditional_painting_(artwork), imply the tag to traditional_media_(artwork)
4. alias paint_(artwork) and painting_(artwork) to a disambiguation tag, categorize both tags as invalid
